You mean the ukrainians, about two years ago? That chartered Tu-154 had
five israeli bioweapon "scientists" on-board en route to Russia. They
were such a grave danger to the whole mankind that they needed to be
eliminated at such a huge price in civilians.

You mean the USSR, with KAL-007? There was an US RC-135 in the air,
using the KAL-007 to hide behind it. The laser gyroscope error that led
the Jumbo to fly over soviet territory and super-secret ICBM sites is
certainly strange. You can blame that Jumbo on the CIA, rather than the
soviets.

(Keith knows damn well ther wasn't a fifty to vapour cloud.


From the report

40-50 tonnes of cyclohexane escaped in about one minute. There had been a
state of alert for nearly an hour, since the detection of the fire on the 8"

appears to have taken place before any alarm was raised."


that's the total lost in teh accident, including the fires which
lasted days.


From the report

"The feedstuff for the process was a highly combustible cyclic hydrocarbon,
some four hundred tonnes of which would fuel the subsequent fire"

He also knows that proper valving would hav limited
the loss, there's still quite of material in the pipe, but
nothing like fifty tons and there woldn't be pressure to drive
it.


The report states otherwise


I think he's also ware that fitting a bellows at all is now
considered to be the main problem, the DuPont reports (public
domain BTW and a professional would have seen them) suggest that
a three angle loop would be much more secure.


I'm aware that fitting an incorrectly anchored bypass
was the problem, as the report states

"The bypass pipe was fixed at either end to the bellows, but the scaffolding
was used to support the bypass pipe proved to be inadequate, and the pipe
was free to squirm when the pressure increased. "


D. doesn't use
bellows. His suggestion that the line fence is important compared
to distance is ludicrous, as is his suggestion that Cyane would
probably oxidize in contact with air. I doubt any chamical
engineer would not be aware that cyane and cyclohexane are the
same thing. I could continue, but that's enough on this sequence/


If you believe cyclohexane wont oxidise how do you explain
the fact that it did do so ? (hint the process is commonly called burning).

Osha disagrees with you about it anyway

He misread my original comment, has neither supported his
reading, nor answered my call on that subject. He stays
resolutely away from the subject.


This is a flat lie

His original furnace suggestion remains ludicrous. I explained
why, he snipped the explanation then, a few posts later, came
basck asking for a discussion. When I mentioned that I'd already
explained, he simply lied.


The comment about a furnace line was a simple example of the
hazards of ruptured lines. You are twisting and turning like Tarver

And now the Ad Hominem a la Tarver

Go and look at the report on what happened at
Flixborough

I have, in detail, often, with access to a lot that isn't
generally available.

Bingo. Another claim of access to information not available to the

rest
of
us--to go along with prior claims of attending sensitive briefings on

what
US personnel were doing with the contras in Nicaragua, and battle

update
briefings with a command that had troops engaged in Afghanistan? And

you
wonder why more and more folks don't believe you?


I expalined quite directly why I had deeper knowledge than
generally available. Anybody who worked at Maitland or the Texas
plant (Victoria?) had the same. As you snipped that, I conclude
you're up to your old bull again, removing context so that you
can invent some. You've recently proven yourself grossly
dishonest three times, isn't that enough?


No, Keith has demonstrated quite amply that you are clueless regarding

the
incident at hand, not to mention of questionable veracity regarding the
subject in general, despite your, as he put it "sekret" information...
Sounds like just another example of your trying to pad your background a

bit
too much, and as I noted, it ain't the first time you have been caught

out
like this.

I'm not going to argue about Kieth with you. You've been caught
yourself more than once recently, as I said.


Please specify. I have a complete list iof your falsifications; the ones you
always hate to answer and usually resort to just snipping away before
hurling your own utterly baseless allegations.

As usual, you have
nothing to contribute.


Except for the observation that you have again apparently stepped into the
trap of claiming you have some sort of restricted "insider" information
(about a truly wide ranging field of subjects, too!), and when questioned
further on it, this time by Keith, you wilt like a three day old cut-flower
on the sidewalk.

I have two choices, switch things back to
one of your idiot statements, like the bit about artillery
hitting without knowing where the target is, or ignoring you.
I'll take the second.


Give it your best shot--and while you are at it, can you refresh us as to
what it was you were supposedly teaching those marines who were part of the
spearhead into Afghanistan? You remember--you said quite clearly that your
involvement with their preparation over the "past year" (a year where you
also acknowledged that in fact you were working in that call center...)
would have been "wasted" if they had seen fit to follow the Patton Approach
to making the other poor SOB die for his country? Or was that another
"sekret" thing? If so, you are not too good at keeping "sekrets", are you,
Mr. Mitty? I believe this was all offered shortly before you claimed to have
"been there, done that" in regards to your supposedly being fully squared
away with the "meeting engagement", having never worn a uniform but having
maybe worked for the same conglomerate that produced some kind of simulator?
Did you even work in the same division that produced samesaid simulator, or
did you make *all* of that up? And speaking of "division", that does remind
one of your last (before this one) claim to have been in on "sekret"
information, what with all of those briefings you claimed to be attending
about ongoing actions in Afghanistan (again, at the same time that you
elsewhere acknowledged you were actually working in that call center, though
you later tried to claim that you were not doing so concurrently, forgetting
that you had made the contradicting claims on *the same day* and both were
set in the present tense) given by that "Mountain Division major"--have you
figured out which division is known as the "Mountain Division" in the US
Army yet?

Gee, all them "sekrets", and nary a clue... amazing.

A home-made armored Caterpillar turns Colorado into Palestine?

Palestine has dead. The authorities ended this one without public
deaths.


Pure chance. They had no absolutely contact with the madman whatsoever

..
If he decided to target a chemical plant and cause a Bhopal-scale
industrial disaster, the cops simply couldn't stop him. In the end an
entire county could get killed.

Do you know enough about the local geography and plants to say
that this sort of thing is possible?


Very detailed description:

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drm...940309,00.html

....During the attack, according to officials, Heemeyer shot repeatedly
at a number of propane storage tanks at a distributorship with a
..50-caliber weapon. The apparent attempt to trigger a massive explosion
failed....This is just domestic terrorism is what it is....

The problem, Keith, is that you're trying to argue with Peter Skelton
by acting as if the facts matter to him. He's manifestly shown many
times that they do not.

He's also demonstrated time and again that the sure way to tell when
he realizes he is in the wrong is to watch for when he starts the
insults.

So, when Peter starts in with the personal insults and attempts to
twist things, you know you've won.

Has Mr. Feher consulted a map to find out the location of Granby,
Colorado? Hint: it's 75 miles (and at least one mountain pass) to the
Denver suburbs, where one might first encounter any sort of chemical
plant. Perhaps the authorities were confident he wasn't targeting a
chemical plant because there aren't many chemical plants in a Rocky
Mountain tourist town with a population of a few thousand.

Cite please - you keep claiming you have

that of the various reports in the literature.

I suggest you present it.

Meanwhile I suggest you read the report published
in the journal of Hazardous Materials in 2000
http://hugin.aue.auc.dk/publ/hoiset2000.pdf

Quote
w x Sadee et al. 1 have made an estimation of the explosive cyclohexane-air
mixture to
be a total volume of about 400 000 m3, shaped like a banana or boomerang in
its
footprint, containing 30 tons of cyclohexane at a concentration of 2% per
volume. The
authors also pointed out that a likely source of ignition was the reformer
furnace of the
w x nearby hydrogen plant. Gugan 3 stated 36 tons as a likely cyclohexane
mass. Marshall
w x 4 also stated the hydrogen plant as a probable point of ignition.
Generally, there seems
to be an agreement with respect to the general conditions of the leakage and
the location
of ignition in most reports of the Flixborough accident.
/Quote

Perhaps you prefer the report prpeared by Anthony Joseph PhD, PE
for Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2002

Quote
The dog-leg assembly ruptured at about 4:51PM and allowed the escape of
30-50 tons of cyclohexane well above its normal boiling point. A flammable
cloud of about 14 million ft3 (about 400,000 m3) was formed from the vapor
and mist issuing from an initial jet about 600ft (about 185 m) long.

Sure but that is not what you claimed. Probably oxidizing in air
does not bring fire on contact with an ignition source to mind.

Your evasion of estimates of the size of the explosion

No I'm quoting accurately.

There is nothing wrong per se with using a bellows
provided the system is correctly constrained. It was
the lack of such constraint that caused the failure
as the quote from the report accurately showed.

Note further that far from being single sourced
I have provided references to several other studies.

You on the other hand have claimed unspecified
privileged information.

This is not exactly a compelling argument.

Sure but that is not what you claimed.


My claim was that Cyclohexane would probably oxidise
when released into the air, the risk of that happening
is described in the literature as high.

The NFPA rating is 3 = SEVE Can be ignited at all temperatures

The European Safety Database states

Cyclohexane is very flammable and may be ignited by contact with a hot
surface - a naked flame is not necessary.

As you accurately pointed out it has an autognition temperature
of only 260 C meaning devices as varied as a vehicle exhaust
or steam pipe can initiate combustion

Probably oxidizing in air
does not bring fire on contact with an ignition source to mind.


It does to anyone who understands what it means, let me
give you a nice definition from one of my chemistry
textbooks

burning - A rapid oxidation reaction between a fuel and oxygen that produces
heat
